Enclosure Assembly: 1) First, before gluing anything, do a dry fit of the enclosure to familiarize yourself with the parts and assembly. This will also give you a chance to ensure that all pieces have been cut properly. 2) Due the design of this enclosure, it can easily be assembled in one sitting, using as little as 6 clamps.

With one Side Panel laying flat, glue all mating surfaces of the dado in the Side Panel and one side of the Brace Assembly. Insert the Brace Assembly as shown. Make sure the Brace Assembly is seated completely in the dado. Glue all mating surfaces of Bottom Panel, Side Panel, and Brace Assembly.

Glue all mating surfaces of the Back Panel, Bottom Panel, Side Panel, and Brace Assembly. Insert the Back Panel as shown. Make sure the Brace Assembly posts are seated completely in the matching notches on the Back Panel. Note: Make sure the port cutout is lined up with the notch at the top of the brace assembly. Glue all mating surfaces of Top Panel, Side Panel, Back Panel, and Brace Assembly.

11) Make sure that all edges are flush and securely apply clamps from side to side, top to bottom, and front to back. Apply ample pressure to ensure glue is spread evenly through each joint (some glue squeeze-out can be expected). Visually inspect all seams to make sure they are all closed tightly, you may need to relocate clamps (or add more clamps) to get a perfect fit.
Crossover assembly: Point-to-point wiring diagram 14) Arrange the components on the White Perforated Crossover Board as illustrated in the point- to-point wiring diagram above so the leads can be connected together as shown on the back side of the board. Take careful note of the component type and the value of the component. (The crossover schematic is provided at the end of this assembly guide.) 15) Connect the leads of the components as shown in the diagram by twisting them together or creating interlocking "hooks"...

16) With a hot soldering iron, apply solder to the connections between components. Heat the junctions evenly and verify that the solder flows into the connections rather than forming a "blob" on the surface (cold joint). 17) Cut two lengths of 2-conductor speaker wire approximately 14"-16" in length, then solder them at the outputs of the crossover network labeled "woofer"...
Using a screwdriver, secure woofer using the included #6 x 3/4" Pan Head screws, just until tight, being careful not to strip out the holes (a power drill is not recommended). 25) You are now ready to enjoy your finished Morel Ardon bookshelf speaker.
